Good morning! I want to share with you this morning the last of the Christmas yarn I was lucky enough to receive. My parents are very good about picking up yarn for me when they see it, & I’ve been slowly educating them so they know what good prices are. They mainly pick me up acrylic yarn for charity, but they occasionally score the good stuff. All the yarn I’m showing you today (my last & final day of flashing the Christmas stash) they bought in one large lot at a field auction we frequent in the summer. I have no idea what they paid for it, but my mom did tell me there was quite the bidding war going on!
You can’t quite tell but there are 4 balls of the self striping yarn, though none of the balls are full. It looks like it’s maybe a dk or a sport weight.
mmm… alpaca… I actually bought some of this exact same brand of yarn on vacation a few years ago & knitted it into a shawl I wear all winter long.
This is an 80% mohair blend. I’m super excited about this, I love mohair & it’s so warm & it’s so hard to find at affordable prices. It’s not at all itchy mohair, either, very soft & very nice!
wool in a very gorgeous shade of green, I think there’s enough here for a vest for ME!
wool… just your basic, every day wool in pink and green. yay for the basics!
wool in reds
More wool. The white yarn is 90% wool & 10% nylon, the rest is 100% wool I believe.
Great haul, yes?
Happy 40th, Jon baby! I love you!
